When will Doctor Who series 11 start on BBC One?

Peter Capaldi will bow out of the much-loved time travel series on Christmas Day with Jodie Whittaker expected to appear at the end of the festive special.

It’s been reported fans will have to wait until autumn 2018 to see Jodie’s first full series as the Doctor.

Doctor Who has typically started each series in the spring since returning in 2005, but there have been two exceptions.

In 2013 and 2015 the show started in September with filming beginning in February of that year. Seeing as production is yet to officially begin on series 11, don’t expect Doctor Who to return until the second half of 2018.
